I understand that most roads will not change since they are already posted - including the 15 MPH limit on our street. However, the existing posting is almost nonexistent in some cases. For example, Canal St. - I had a discussion with a neighbor about how the new law would impact the limit for Canal. She claimed that it would become 20 MPH since it was not marked. I thought that it was marked and then began looking for signs. I may have missed one or some, but the only one I saw was coming southbound out of Sumter Landing and it stated 30 MPH. With such lack of posting, I can see where this new law will create Florida's unfriendliest (and unsafest) town with some people crawling along at 20 MPH, thinking that is the limit, and others crawling up their butt because they are driving so slowly.
